All,

We script GDB to attach to our application when it crashes and generate a 
crash report giving lots of valuable information for developers to debug 
the problem.  Before invoking GDB we know the LWPID and the PID so we 
attach to the PID (--pid), however, currently GDB only knows about its own 
threadids, we don't know this before invoking GDB but our script is already 
written, so I have created a small patch to the "thread" command to take a 
%<LWPID> option, and swtich to that thread.  We thought you might be 
interested.

Changelog
---------

2010-02-04  Scott Harrison <scott.harrison@tandberg.com>

	* gdb/thread.c: Add support for LWPID to the thread command.


Patch is attached.  I realise that this patch may not be applicable to all 
platforms that gdb is used on, sorry.

Kind regards,

Scott Harrison
